CORROBORATED

Three independent web search results (NBC News and others) specifically detail that a bill to fund ICE and Border Patrol was scuttled because the president sought to add $1.8 billion for a DOJ fund.

Claim 3: “The U.S. indicted Raúl Castro, Cuba's 94-year-old former president and an icon of the Cuban Revolution, on murder charges”

SINGLE SOURCE

Claim 4: “imposed new sanctions on its military leadership”
